Porta Venezia

Milan

The line that unites me to the practices of the Bauhaus school is also related to that of the schools derived from it and their teachers and students. Milan is the center where some of them worked and formed a school in turn. When Giulio Confalonieri wanted to tell me who could be the go-to graphic artist in New York, he mentioned Armando Milani. When Armando, after a fruitful trip to NY collaborating with Massimo Vignelli, wanted to have a pied à terre in Milan again, he proposed to me to renovate a small former warehouse in Porta Venezia. The vertical and horizontal planes of American Fir wood make up the aesthetic and functional structure of this space. The armchairs are by Massimo Vignelli for Knoll.
